SPARK Advanced Driving Clinic Highlight:
What is a Slalom Course? On the surface, the slalom looks simple and easy to execute, in slow motion. Speed up and you will experience the handling characteristics of your car's suspension system, tyres and advanced electronics. This course is designed for you to test and understand the dynamics of the car you are driving. It is a series of fast left, right maneuvers around a series of pylons placed in a straight line. The objective is to allow the driver to understand the dynamics of the car in the event that he or she has to make quick steering changes while driving (under adverse conditions).
How can the Emergency Brake be applied effectively? Most modern cars come with ABS Anti-Lock Braking System as standard, a life saving system. But too many new drivers are not aware of how this system works. When the ABS is activated in an emergency, pulses can be felt on the brake pedal and a loud grinding sound. Some drivers let go of the brakes pedals in shock. At our course, all of us will get to feel how the ABS system reacts under safe and controlled conditions.
How can we Brake and swerve to avoid oncoming danger?The ABS is part of the Active Safety Feature, so it is important that you are in control as you brake and swerve to avoid an oncoming danger. This station will require you to put the ABS system to good use as the system gives you steering control even when braking. This is quite a scary station but drivers leave with more confidence with their cars and driving skills.
How can Handbrake turn save life? This is part of the Evasive Technique that you see in many Hollywood movies. It is also often used in Autotest competitions usually done by Singapore Motor Sports Association. It is a spectacular maneuver if done correctly. Knowing this skill may save your life and family in the event you need to quick evade a robbery especially when driving in neighboring countries. Anyone can learn this technique.
Master the J-Turn or Reverse Flick to improve your driving skills This is similar to the handbrake turn except that this is performed while reversing. Again, this is a skill that you may need to use in an emergency. Knowing how to perform this will increase your driving skills tremendously.
